Rebirth[2] is South Korean boy band SS501's seventh Korean mini-album released on October 20, 2009 by DSP Media.

After SS501 project unit's U R Man[3] and SS501 Solo Collection's album, Rebirth is SS501's first K-Pop album in over one and a half years. It was released in two parts: in a limited and a full edition. The former was released on October 20,[4] while the latter on October 22.[5]

SS501 promoted the album with the single "Love Like This", a track collaborated by Steven Lee, Sean Alexander, and Drew Ryan Scott.[6] The single was also sung by Varsity Fanclub, Scott's group, in English lyrics with the same title single, which was released later in 2010.[7]

Rebirth was the 3rd best-selling album of 2009 in South Korea, after Super Junior's Sorry, Sorry and G-Dragon's Heartbreaker.[8]
